O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/O/N/20
Question 31 from 5090/12/O/N/20

Explanation

Malaria Control Strategies

Steps:

  • Identify vector control: Statement 1 uses insecticides to eliminate mosquitoes, reducing transmission.
  • Identify physical barriers: Statement 2 employs netting to prevent mosquito bites on humans.
  • Identify chemoprevention: Statement 3 involves drugs that inhibit Plasmodium development in people.
  • Confirm all methods: Each targets different aspects of malaria lifecycle per WHO guidelines.

Why A is correct:

  • All three statements align with integrated malaria control, combining vector reduction, bite prevention, and pathogen suppression as defined by global health protocols.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B omits drug-based prevention, a core human-side strategy.
  • C ignores netting and drugs, limiting to partial vector control.
  • D excludes insecticides, neglecting essential mosquito elimination.

Final answer: A
